Our Grow Me Sustainable Gift Box contains:

✻Cretan Herb Malotira

Glass tube with Cretan tea herb Malotira. Malotira has been a popular aromatic herb in Crete since the 1st AD century. It acts as an anti-inflammatory, bacteriostatic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, diaphoretic and anti-irritant. Moreover, it is known to be beneficial for the blood vessels of the heart and the proper function of the digestive system. The essential oil of Malotira even protects against skin diseases and sunburn. It also helps treat respiratory problems, anxiety and common cold. Combine it with cinnamon and honey for the perfect winter beverage.

✻Olive Wood Heart Coaster 

Sustainable coaster shaped like a heart, handmade from Cretan olive wood. Olive wood has been used since antiquity in the Mediterranean for items of daily use. Its high density renders it solid and hard with long life and durability for everyday use. The unique wood lines are caused by its age and the altitude where the olive tree grows on the island of Crete. 

✻Handmade Ceramic Pot

In ancient Greece, olive oil and honey were kept for long periods of time in gigantic ceramic vessels called pithoi. In those giant jars, olive oil was also transported for trade. A characteristic element of Greek civilization and a unique element for your house decoration! It can also be used as a pot for your seed paper plant.

✻Minoan Lilies Themed Olive Wood Stamp 

A handmade 6x4cm stamp with minoan lilies design and a quality red ink pad. The stamp is made from olive wood and prints a design of minoan lilies, flowers that were grown by ancient Cretans. These beautiful flowers are hiding a legend about Zeus and his son. According to mythology, Zeus wanted his son Hercules to drink some of Hera’s milk. However, because Hercules was born of another woman, Hera refused to feed the child her milk. Sneakily, Zeus brought the baby to Hera to drink her milk while she was asleep. When she woke up and realised what was happening, she pushed them both away. It’s said that the drops of milk that fell onto the ground grew into beautiful white lilies! Minoan Lilies usually are represented in a lot of Cretan frescos. A special stamp for a unique touch on your notebooks! 

✻"Grow Me" Seed Paper Bookmark

Grow your own plant from just a piece of paper! Use your bookmark for as long as you like and then recycle it creating beautiful plants! Plant this seed paper in a pot of soil or outside in a garden and watch your plant grow! This biodegradable seed paper is made from post - consumer materials and contains seeds that germinate when you plant them.

✻Lucky Eye Bracelet

In Greece there is a belief that Matiasma will cause misfortune or injury. Matiasma means “evil eye” in Greek, and is often shortened to mati which means “eye”. The classic Greek “lucky eye” symbol charm aims to ward off the effects of the Matiasma. Blue charms shaped like eyes worn on a necklace or a bracelet “reflect” the evil. The lucky eye is the most commonly talked about ancient tradition in the Greek Isles. Celebrate Greek culture with a Greek lucky eye bracelet in the blue and white colours of the Greek flag.
